The Saab TankRadar custody transfer system can be installed on LNG carriers with 3 either spherical or membrane type tanks.
All values from the Saab TankRadar system are available on the Work Stations. The Work Stations are 4 based on PCs with a fast real time operating system. The system is operated using a light pen.
The feeling of being in control and of being able to rely on your equipment is important to all professionals in tanker operations. But, when your job is to handle liquefied natural gas in a safe, efficient way, this becomes significantly important. With the Saab TankRadar custody transfer system for LNG carriers, you have reliable information so that you can safely control your cargo operation.
Knowing how much unscheduled downtime costs, your Saab TankRadar system will soon pay off with its reliable operation.
loading, transporting or discharging. The temperature and pressure sensors are connected to the radar tank gauges, so that the Saab TankRadar system always gives you the complete picture of the cargo in your LNG tanks.
7 Detailed and indisputable cargo reports are generated by the Saab TankRadar custody transfer system.
The Saab TankRadar gauges are installed on top of your tanks. 9 No equipment inside the tank can break down or degrade in operation.

The Saab TankRadar gauge is installed on top of a still pipe. The temperature sensors are installed in a thermowell. 11 This means that you can easily replace the electronic box and the temperature sensors, with the tank in operation.
Convenient installation
Because the only parts inside the tank are the still pipe, cone antenna and thermowell, the installation of the Saab TankRadar system is very convenient. It can be installed on newbuildings or be retrofitted on existing LNG carriers.
The temperature sensors are installed into a thermowell manufactured by the shipyard. After the sensors have been installed and connected, the thermowell is inerted. Both the still pipe and the thermowell can share the same penetration through the tank dome.

Technical details
The main parts of the Saab TankRadar system are: The tank gauges that measure ullage, vapor pressure as well as liquid and vapor temperature. The Level Unit that contains much of the calculation power for the signal processing and the circuits for ensuring the intrinsic safety. The tank gauges are connected to the Level Unit. The signal processors and memory circuits are doubled for internal redundancy in the Level Unit.

The Work Stations that calculate the cargo volume from tank parameters and measured values. They also supervise and warn of any alarms that may occur. A Work Station consists of a PC that is type approved for operating in the marine environment. A printer is included for printing custody transfer reports and various logs. The Redundancy Box that automatically switches master Work Station, if the active master fails.
